Deliver Us!

Something for the weekend. You know that you are living in an odd cultural period when the best musicals are animated! Deliver us from the Prince of Egypt.

God is always with us in all of our travails, perhaps never more so than when He appears to us to be completely absent. When our spirit is lowest and we give way to despair, I suspect that God is never closer to us than at those times. As Isaiah noted so long ago, “See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you.”
